As of July 9, FDA Premarket Submission Numbers and Supplement Numbers are part of the device record. They can be found in web search and download files. Not every device record contains premarket numbers. If premarket numbers are available and publicly releasable, they appear in the device record.

Have you ever tried to export search results and hit the 10,000 record limit?
A new option is to download a pre-built (canned) query—see what’s available
here. And remember that you can always
download the full data set and
import it into your own database
to filter and sort according to your needs.

Coming Soon: More easily track data changes and sync your database to the latest data available on AccessGUDID.
And more easily link GUDID data to other data sets! Starting April 2, 2018, we plan to add new GUDID data elements
to the download files and APIs.
Review the new schema and get prepared!

Do you want AccessGUDID data in tables that can be easily linked? Or do you want to export your search results as full records that include all fields?

When downloading the full data set or exporting your search results,
choose the delimited text file option.
These text files can be imported into Excel for easy viewing.
They can also be imported into Access, Oracle, MySQL, or another relational database application,
where you can link these tables to easily query and manipulate the data. Detailed instructions are available
here.
Bulk import scripts for
Oracle
and
MySQL
are also available.

The GUDID data element “Package Type” has now been added to the download file.
Package Type provides the text to describe the outer packaging of the product and enables users to
understand higher level packaging configurations. For more information on GUDID Data Elements,
please see the
GUDID Data Elements Reference Table.
Please download the updated
schema.
This data element will soon be available under AccessGUDID search as well.

AccessGUDID is officially production ready. The site has expanded from basic search and download services to offer advanced search, RSS feeds, and APIs. Thank you for your feedback while the site was in beta!

Due to data errors, the Full Release file for the month of October has been removed. An updated file will be available on Monday, November 2, 2015. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The Lookup API returns all AccessGUDID fields for a single device record.

The Implantable API and Implantable Download return a list of implantable devices that have been submitted to AccessGUDID. The API was developed specifically to meet the Implantable Device List specifications in the ONC EHR Certification and CMS MU3 Final Rules.

These new features are available in beta release for a brief user testing period before their full release. We encourage you to test them out and share your feedback. Visit the API Documentation page to find out more!

Update 8/19/2015 - GUDID functionality has been restored and a new full release is available

The FDA identified a security vulnerability in GUDID, and decided to take that system offline until a patch is implemented. We do not expect full GUDID functionality to be available until at least August 20, 2015. However, the Pre-production & Production system HL7 SPL submission option has been restored. We will provide updates via the FDA UDI website and through GovDelivery notifications.
No database release files will be posted to AccessGUDID while GUDID is offline. The next downloadable file will be available after GUDID’s full functionality has been restored and will be a full release.
